Paste any image URL straight onto your collage

The fastest way to get an image into a collage isn't to download it and upload it again. It's to paste its URL.

The two-second workflow

  1. Find an image anywhere on the web. Right-click it and choose Copy image address.
  2. In PasteCollage, paste it into the URL box (or just press Ctrl/Cmd+V on the canvas).
  3. The image appears at full resolution, ready to move, scale, and layer.

No saving to your Downloads folder, no re-uploading, no losing quality to a screenshot. The image is fetched at its original size through a proxy that handles cross-origin loading for you.

Why paste-from-URL beats download-and-upload

  • Full resolution. You get the source image, not a compressed screenshot.
  • No clutter. Nothing lands in your Downloads folder.
  • Faster iteration. Pasting a handful of references takes seconds.

Getting a clean image address

Most sites work out of the box. A couple of tips for the ones that don't:

  • On Pinterest, the pin page isn't the image itself. Open the pin, right-click the actual photo, and copy that address (it'll be an i.pinimg.com link).
  • If a link ends in .jpg, .png, or .webp, you're good. If it's an HTML page, you've copied the page, not the image.

Want to grab every image on a page instead of one at a time? See importing a whole webpage into a moodboard.

Everything runs in your browser: paste, arrange, and export to PNG or PDF when you're done.
